OMG: To all the guys out there. If a shy girl had the courage to ask you out for coffee, would you reject her? I've been wanting to ask this guy out for ages, but I'm just scared of getting rejected or embarrassed

It really has nothing to do with you being shy. Without knowing more about your personality or how you look, I'd say most guys would think shy == cute. I would definitely appreciate and feel good if a girl asked me out, even if I reject her. That said, just because you're shy and had the courage to ask me out doesn't mean I'm attracted to you and obligated to go out on a date. In any case, ask the guy out!

Shyness doesn't really help if the guy has no idea who you are.I find that even if a guy turns me down, I'm happy it happened as opposed to wondering for the rest of my life "what if". It also makes it easy for me to move on. Please don't let the fear of rejection stop you from dating :)

Yeah, I would go for a cup of coffee in an instant. A chance to get to know the girl better, even if I wasn't particularly attracted to her at first. I dated a girl like that who asked me out for a movie... eventually she dumped me, but we are still good friends.
